> Was this an oversight or is there some locale that has just æ and not ø?

Well, Icelandic uses ö in place of ø, but also requires ð and ý which are not included.

Æ is sometimes used in older English texts, though, in words like “encyclopædia” or in plurals of latin-derived words: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:English_plurals_in_-...

For completeness, Icelandic also requires Þ which I somehow forgot when writing the above comment.
